That’s a wrap!Wow, what a crazy year! Who ever would have thought this is how the 2019-2020 school year would have ended. It wasn’t easy, but we made it. As the year is winding down, many of you may be wondering “What do I do with all the technology in my classroom?” or “What should I do with the files on my instructional laptop?” Here at the iCafe we want to make sure your equipment and information are as safe as possible over the summer months, so we’ve developed a checklist of best practices to help you prepare the technology in your classroom for those long, glorious summer months. |
Classroom & Office Closeout Check-List
Below you will find detailed directions to go along with the Printable Classroom Check-List.
As in years past, all staff members may be asked to complete the Classroom/Office Closeout Check List & tape it to the outside of their door before they leave for the summer. This allows members of the LCISD Tech Services team to quickly make note of anything in the room that needs attention.

As in years past, many district computers may need to receive a fresh image. This helps prepare our machines to operate as efficiently as possible in the upcoming school year. *If your laptop has a bright blue background, please contact Help Desk to receive a new image for the coming school year. What do these changes mean for you? It means EVERYTHING you have saved on your computer will be erased. Gone, see ya, hasta la vista baby! So before you leave campus for the summer, be sure to back-up or save any files on your desktop computer to OneDrive or another storage device. See the videos below. Back-up to OneDrive
Step 1: Sync OneDrive to your desktop computer*If your OneDrive files already appear in the Explorer Window, move on to Step 2. Step 2: Drag and Drop filesCanvas FilesPlease note: Any files saved to your Canvas courses will not be lost as they’re saved in the Canvas LMS system. Before the new school year, all 2019/2020 courses will be archived. You will still have access to these courses and files under the “Archived (year)” heading. |
